You are not going to be able to upgrade a 5 year old computer to the point where it is "awesome". You can't get a Core 2 Duo, you are limited to 2GB DDR RAM, you can't use SATA hard drives, and you only have an AGP slot. If you are really looking for a "maxed out" computer, you are going to have to start from scratch.

Hi there,

Why do you want to upgrade it? How much have you allocated to the upgrade budget?

Cheers

If you have as much money as you need just build a new one then. It will be cheaper.
